F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 8:1-99

Matthew 8 AFTER THESE THREE chapters filled with His teachings, Matthew gives us two chapters occupied with His works of power. It was not enough for Him to enunciate the principles of the kingdom, He displayed the power of the kingdom in a variety of striking ways. There are five main illustrations of that power in Matthew 8.0 , and again in Matthew 9.0 . In each case we may say that the miracle the Lord performed in connection with human bodies, or with visible and tangible things, was a... read more

The Storm on the Lake. v. 23. And when He was entered into a ship, His disciples followed Him. v. 24. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. The ship had been prepared by the disciples in accordance with previous instructions, and when He now entered, the men that stood nearest to Him, the inner circle of His followers, embarked with Him. Worn out by the intensity of the bodily and mental strain of a hard... read more

The terror of the disciples and Christ's rebuke: v. 25. And His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us; we perish! v. 26. And He saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. v. 27. But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him! Coming to Him, the disciples woke Him. They may have hesitated for some time out of respect for... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 8:18-27

Leader of Men and Ruler of Nature Matthew 8:18-27 Christ winnows men. Before any enter upon His service, He places before them the inevitable trials which they must meet, among which loneliness and homelessness bulk large. See that in your heart Christ has a home. Where, however, there is lethargy, the Savior stirs the soul to follow Him. Do not mourn about the grave of the past; leave it and enter the life of resurrection and ascension. Storms must sweep over all our lives. The Master’s... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 8:1-34

The King passed down from the mountain and from teaching in order that He might bring the Kingdom nearer to His people, and give them examples of its benefits. What a wondrous application of His power; leprosy, palsy, fever, all fly before Him, and mark the cosmopolitanism of His giving-a leper, a Roman, a woman, all the despised in the Jewish mind. In that wonderful evening, when the crowds gathered, and the King took their infirmities and bore their diseases, what a radiant revelation He... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 8:18-34

Discipleship in Training Matthew 8:18-34 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Let us consider the insincerity of the multitude. The last study closed with the crowds pressing upon Christ that they might be dispossessed of demons, and healed of all manner of sicknesses. The Lord did heal them all. We are sure, however, that He saw the real intent of the populace. They sought Him, not because they loved Him, nor because they received Him as the Son of God. They sought Him because of the benefits they would... read more

CHRIST IN THE SHIP‘And when He was entered into a ship, His disciples followed Him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea … even the winds and the sea ohey Him.’ Matthew 8:23-Daniel : I. The peril of the disciples.—The sea of Galilee, like all inland seas, was subject to violent hurricanes of wind. Such a tornado now swept over this sea and lashed it into madness. But, apart from natural causes, who raised this fearful storm? Was it an accident—one of those effects that seem... read more

CHRIST’S POWER OVER NATURE‘The ship was covered with the waves.’ Matthew 8:24 The quieting or peace-making power of Christ overcoming all disorder, is what we feel most in this account of the stilling of the storm. I. Absolute helplessness.—Most men, at some time in their lives, have known what it is to touch the last limit of strength. The powers that overmatch us, tire us out, and run us down, are various—time, hereditary maladies, sudden sickness, the superior strength of other people... read more

THE SECRET OF CALM‘And there was a great calm.’ Matthew 8:26 It is important to know the real secret of a quiet spirit under jarring influences. I. An act of supernatural power.—The first thing is this: it must be by an act of supernatural power. It is not in man to hush himself to rest. There must be a Divine command, ‘Peace, be still!’ And we must listen for this stilling voice, which the ear of faith can hear even in a hurricane! II. A secret power.—Akin to this, there is a secret... read more
